LDF Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 12:24 AM) I remember last winter, TUC and I had gone back and forth over Sale. I said that for a big haul I would deal Sale in a heartbeat and TUC disagreed big time. Now that Q has solidified himself behind Sale in the rotation and with the Sox having Rodon to add to those guys, it would take a haul likely never seen in MLB history for me to go along with the idea. I look back and laugh how TUC and I went back and forth, I miss that dude and hope he comes back soon now that the seasons over. Oh man you are not kidding! Seems every cub fan I come across wants to talk to me about cub prospects like I know them intimately and actually give a s***. They are oblivious even when my Sox hat is staring straight at them! Its cool to see cub fans have guys to get excited over but I really only give a s*** about the Sox and what they have to get excited about as indicated by the SOX on my hat. as you said the rtn is unimaginable. what team will be able to trade or even have that much talent to make such a trade???? sCrubs fan >>> no comment. ahh screw it. your problem was assuming a sCrub fan is intelligent enuf to understand what you were talking about.

BlackSox13 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 31, 2014 -> 07:03 PM) Not just Montas. Add Danish, Adams, and Luis Martinez to that mix as well. Best the pitching in the system has been in a loooong time. Danish, yes, but Adams and Martinez are down the line a bit. I'm excited for them too but they are still in rookie ball with a long road ahead of them yet. Nevertheless they are still worth getting excited over.

BlackSox13 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 QUOTE (oldsox @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 09:42 AM) Where did TUC go? If I remember right he took a brake from this place. Some posters can be out right dicks if you think outside the box. He did mention something about coming back in the off season at some point, I hope he does. This place could use some more unconventional thinking. A lot of times all you see is sports writers ideas regurgitated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 The White Sox have released a whole slew of minor leaguers... RHPs Matt Abramson, Brandon Hardin, Jamie Patterson, David Putman, Juan Ramirez, Anthony Santiago, Charlie Sharrer, Kevin Vance LHPs Jose Bautista, Jeff McKenzie INFs Cody Yount, Dan Wagner, Grant Buckner OFs Patrick Palmeiro, Chevy Clarke, Michael Earley, Carl Thomore, Adam Heisler, Sam Macias Mostly not surprising. Abramson has a big live fastball and wasn't around long, thought they may have stuck with him a little longer. Putnam had a nice breaking ball. Vance has had some success over the years. Michael Earley performed reasonably well with the bat and was a good defender, thought they'd keep him around as a 4th OF in the higher levels. Hardin and Vance have even gotten votes in our T25 at points along the way, though neither was ever ranked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abramson does have a live fastball with great movement, but the games that Kanny was on tv, he would leave everything high and get shelled. Which led to his 5+ era. Vance just hasn't put a season together the last 2 years. The rest are MiLB fillers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed time this year with minor injuries, but nothing that was a major problem from anything I understood. Maybe you are thinking of the Bears player by the same name?

I just wouldn't know when it comes out. many thanks. Don't worry, I'll be starting a new thread for it. Kiley had a prospect chat yesterday and he said the Sox list will be out sometime during next week. Speaking of that chat, he answered some White Sox prospect related questions.... Comment From Guest Montas looking, er, pitching-wise like a SP or still likely a RP? 12:55 Kiley McDaniel: Probably RP, but still has a chance to figure it out. Comment From george rr martin how big of a concern is Tim Anderson’s plate discipline? 12:56 Kiley McDaniel: I’m not too concerned. I’d like to see him make some adjustments, but he barely played baseball as an amateur and the tools are absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His opinion on the defense is going to be the same as anybody else's - he needs time. He has the tools to do so, but he needs more reps. Looking into his defense when he just barely cracked the AA lineup is silly. It's something he needs to improve, but you really don't need to worry about at this point in time.

DAVERS, It's not worth being worried about right now. It's a concern and he'll need to show improvement, but suggesting a positional change at this point in his career is just silly. It'd be like suggesting Montas or Danish move to the bullpen because they don't have the requisite secondary pitch at this point in their careers. There's no need to get snippy. You've continually harped on Anderson's defense and the response has always been "he needs more time." You can't make a conclusion that a guy is unfit for a position after a year and a half of professional experience. IF a positional change does come about, it's going to be to the outfield. He's struggled with fielding and making throws across the infield, but never lateral range or quickness in the field. Knowing that, moving him to 3B, where the throw is longer and the balls come in faster, would be an unmitigated disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
